Memory
When we look at the phone memory you have to note that there are two types of memories
The two are RAM and ROM. RAM is the Random Access Memory which you can access and alter as you may wish to but the ROM means the Read Only memory which you access but you can not write or do any changes on it.
The Samsung Galaxy J7 Neo LTE has a 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage.
The 2GB RAM means that you can do much stuff on your phone without much trouble as compared to those smartphones with 1GB RAM which keep hanging from time to time when you try multi-task
The 16 GB ROM is suitable for storing data such as videos, music, documents, programmes and Applications that you may wish to have in your phone.
If the ROM is not enough for you, there is an option of increasing it by buying a microSD card of up to a maximum of 256 GB and mount it on expansion slot. The microSD creates more space that you may wish to have for storage purposes.
